Rehydration before wet fixation in conventional body fluid cytology – An 18‐year experience

Abstract

The rehydration method can effectively minimise cell loss, enlarge and preserve the cytological features of malignant cells with haemolysis. This method is simple, practical and good for cytological screening for tumour cells and interpretation especially in a bloody smear. We recommend that the rehydration method be part of traditional cytopreparatory work of wet fixation for Papanicolaou stain in conventional body fluid cytology.
